Reviews

Very good

"I got this one as part of a sampler at some point in the past but hadn't actually gotten around to drinking it, but once I did it was clearly a stand out. Its somewhat similar to longjing but a bit more tender. Strong vegative/grass like flavor that I really enjoy in a green tea. Mellow and woody. Top marks, great tea."

— MW (5/5)

Enchanting

"Beautiful tea. Better if you take your time to appreciate all the subtilities. If you are in a rush it doesn't give the same energy. 85C 5g for 100ml 20s++ infusions. Aroma, taste and aftertaste all play beautifully. Mutton fat gaiwan and ribbed jingdhezen cup from this same website"

— Gilbert (5/5)

Uplifting tea !

"Left me in a kind of high... Such a powerful aftertaste, lasts for ages in mouth. 5g. in 90ml, water 85°C, gave it at least 7 rounds and still had more to go Love it so much <3<3"

Five Stars *as Yunnan greens go*

"One of two Yunnan greens I sampled this spring (2024) and the one I decided to buy for the year's supply of China green. If it were a Zhejiang or Anhui green tea it would not be getting 5 stars but for Yunnan green it is pretty mild and fragrant. Drink a strong mug of this and you will know you had some tea. I drink it off the leaf (what the Internet likes to call "grandpa style") and I find it good for two steeps that way. YMMV, if you're not as picky as me you'll get more than that."

Wonderful flavor. Reminiscent of grapefruit

"Wonderful flavor. Reminiscent of grapefruit ipas funnily."

— Ben M. (5/5)

Lightweight and refreshing

"The tea arrived as usual carefully packed. When opened it gives of delicate notes of hay and dried flowers. I found the results best, when brewed at temperatures around 80° to 85° C and starting with 1 minute - adding 30" after that for 3 re-fusions. Imho: taste and flavor more on the subtle side. A refreshing tea of good quality."

— Christian R. (4/5)

Good look and aroma, flavour lacking

"I was hyped about the fresh 2024 teas and it started out great: the tea arrived in a very good, fresh looking condition and the aroma on the first brew was promising. Unfortunately, the flavour didn't convince in the same manner. I tried different brewing methods but it wouldn't get better than "ok"."
